He also served as the Chief Financial Officer of 7-Eleven Inc from May 1996 to April 1998 and in other various capacities since 1985.[13] Keyes joined CITGO Petroleum in 1985, which was then a subsidiary of 7-Eleven, Inc. Before starting at 7-Eleven, Keyes held various field and headquarters positions in a five-year tenure with Gulf Oil Corporation (which is now called Chevron).[14]
